00:00:00.000 First of all, you can't make Canada the 51st state without going to war with them.
00:00:06.520 And let me explain how that happened, how that worked out the last time we tried to go to war with Canada.
00:00:11.760 They burned the White House to the ground in 1814 and won the war.
00:00:18.420 Canada beat us in the War of 1812.
00:00:22.100 They probably like their chances against us.
00:00:24.960 we're not going to beat them in a war because we have never been able to do that we gonna lose
00:00:32.380 we don't have enough troops to occupy they are a country of 39 million people who are who have
00:00:40.420 about as many guns per capita as we do my goodness i guess the level of delusion
00:00:48.320 that the liberals have isn't limited to just up here north of the border now is it 1.00
00:00:54.020 holy cow that woman spewed a lot of bs i mean i don't even know where to start for one canada
00:01:00.820 wasn't really a country until 1867 so it wasn't really canada fighting the war of 1812 against
00:01:07.380 the united states that's like saying any war prior to 1776 on the 13 british colonies of america
00:01:14.580 was the united states you know everybody with some common sense knows that the united states
00:01:19.540 did not exist as a country until 1776 after the Declaration of Independence. The War of 1812 was
00:01:26.100 fought, matter of fact, between the British and the Americans yet again. And you got to remember
00:01:31.440 that the United States was not the superpower, not even close to the superpower that it is today.
00:01:37.560 Today, the United States is widely known, widely known as the most powerful military, most powerful
00:01:44.640 country on earth bar none second to none so the war of 1812 was fought between the british and
00:01:51.080 the americans and it wasn't only because the americans wanted to take over canada which was
00:01:54.820 one of the reasons but it was one of the reasons another one of the reasons was that the americans
00:01:59.540 were tired of what the british were doing to them their ships and their commerce and trade in the
00:02:04.240 oceans in the atlantic and so on and so forth they were kidnapping their marines they were kidnapping
00:02:09.900 members of their navy so that's another reason why the war of 1812 was fought so again it wasn't
00:02:15.360 canada that fought the americans in 1812 another claim she makes is that canada which was really
00:02:22.300 british north america beat the americans in the war of 1812 and that's simply not true that war
00:02:29.040 was mostly considered a draw because both parts lost territory which they later regained for
00:02:35.240 example the british did occupy washington dc briefly and they did burn the white house among
00:02:41.000 other public buildings but the americans also did occupy parts of southern ontario york and
00:02:47.680 today's toronto and then near the end of the war both sides regained the territory that they lost
00:02:53.540 so again nobody lost that war and then the biggest lie she told in that statement and again i don't
00:02:59.000 know how much of it is a lie and how much is it that she has no idea what the hell she's talking
00:03:03.200 about. But the biggest, the stupidest thing she said in that whole statement was that Canadians 1.00
00:03:07.960 have as many guns per capita as Americans. That couldn't be further from the truth. 1.00
00:03:14.540 Americans are four times, not once, not twice, four times more armed than Canadians. Per every
00:03:20.880 hundred Canadians, there's about 34 to 35 guns in Canada. Guess the number per every hundred
00:03:26.200 Americans, about 120 guns. So Americans are more than four times, actually, more than four times
00:03:32.020 more armed than Canadians. And again, we're talking about the most powerful military in the
00:03:36.160 world. And heck, we're not even considering the fact that a whole lot of Canadians will probably
00:03:39.900 welcome the American military as liberators because they're tired of Canada cozying up to 0.85
00:03:45.600 China and their quality of life decreasing and out of control immigration and on affordable gas, 0.97
00:03:51.700 on affordable groceries, taxes up their butt. A good chunk of Canadians would actually welcome 1.00
00:03:56.660 the American military as liberators. I'm telling you right now, Texas alone would probably be
00:04:01.360 enough to take over the military in Canada. And I take no pleasure in saying this. I hate the
00:04:06.340 condition Canada's military is in after 10 years of terrible liberal policies that have taken away
00:04:12.440 the national pride. That's just the reality. There's like 60,000 to 70,000 troops. Texas
00:04:17.400 National Guard alone will probably do quick work of our military today. It's really a shame.
00:04:22.020 And all of this is without considering the fact that Canada's federal government is hell-bent
00:04:27.160 on disarming its own population by confiscating their legally obtained firearms.
00:04:32.260 Your position's been clear that the real problem is illegal firearms trafficking and not licensed firearms owners.
00:04:41.000 In committee, the Toronto Police Association said that the buyback would have zero impact on crime in Toronto.
00:04:48.240 He said that violence is coming from gang members, thugs, illegal guns, people out on bail,
00:04:52.580 people that have already been prohibited from owning firearms.
00:04:55.960 Is it your view that the buyback program is an expensive, complicated program aimed at the wrong people?
00:05:03.820 Sorry.
00:05:04.800 I will say that the buyback program obviously is going to be an expensive program.
00:05:08.940 It's going to be complicated.
00:05:10.320 I think our position has always been, since 2020 up until now, is that if we're going to spend money in public safety, let's target where it has the greatest return on investment.
00:05:20.900 And from our perspective, that is the illegal importation of firearms across the 49th parallel, the longest unsecured border in the world, with the largest manufacturer of small arms just to the south of us.
00:05:34.220 Right.
00:05:34.700 So you would agree that legal, illegal firearms smuggling is the bigger driver of gun crime than those who legally own firearms at present?
00:05:45.340 It is.
00:05:46.020 the statistics actually show that, that the majority of firearms crime in Canada come from
00:05:50.980 either unregistered, unlicensed, or illegally transported or smuggled firearms into Canada.
00:05:55.480 So you agree that this buyback will not have an impact on gun violence in major cities?
00:06:03.140 I can't predict the future. So we will have to wait to see how the buyback goes,
00:06:07.740 and if it's going to have an impact on public safety.
00:06:10.380 Okay. Would you agree that having the police forces helping to administer this program actually pulls resources away from real public safety work?
00:06:22.140 It does add and download to police officers' duties, and that's one of the reasons, from our perspective, we've been relatively public in saying, you know, it would be nice to see a plan, and what is the plan for the buyback?
00:06:35.160 So here you have one of the leaders of law enforcement in Canada informing the federal government that their ridiculous plan to confiscate the firearms from law-abiding citizens is doing nothing to stop the real criminals in the streets of Toronto, which have seen a sharp increase in violent crime recently.
00:06:51.640 This so-called buyback program isn't only ridiculous, but it's also ineffective, because the real criminals would never hand their guns to the government, at least not voluntarily.
00:07:03.300 Makes you wonder what the real plan is, if it really isn't for the sake of public safety.
00:07:09.260 The fact that they're so determined to take people's ability to defend themselves.
00:07:13.360 On gun violence, efforts must be focused on the criminal use of firearms. I am not aware of any evidence that gun bans are effective in reducing gun violence, and Toronto is a strong example of that.
00:07:27.060 So far this year, we've experienced a 43% increase in shootings, and the number of gun-related homicides has grown by 67%.
00:07:36.240 Our members have seized approximately 600 crime guns, and at least 85% of those can be traced to the United States.
00:07:45.460 The federal government's gun regulations cost millions of dollars, but it's only a burden for lawful gun owners.
00:07:52.480 In this budget, we would call for the federal government to end the handgun ban and the so-called buyback program and redirect those resources to all police agencies, not just the RCMP and CBSA, to address the influx of illegally smuggled firearms.
